"Real people" comics used to be a thing, back in the day. There was a Gene Autry comic, a Bob Hope comic, a Jerry Lewis comic. And, as I learned last year when looking through Wikipedia's "King Features Syndicate" infobox, there was a Woody Allen comic strip. In 1975, cartoonist Stuart Hample contacted Allen and got his permission to make him into a comic strip; Inside Woody Allen launched in 1976 and ended in 1984. I started digging for examples of the strip and found a few dozen from people's collections of original art - but most of them are super small, or not particularly interesting because they don't really use the comic strip medium (just standard Woody Allen jokes with a Woody Allen cartoon next to them), or both. I also found several strips that were translated into Spanish, and French, and German, and Greek, and Dutch, and Italian; I could, hypothetically, transcribe them and then put them through Google Translate, but gently caress that, I'm not going to that much effort for this. That said, I do have a bunch that are worth showing. Let's start with what I'm pretty sure is the original art from the strip that is, in retrospect, the most holy poo poo mind-boggling.

Per the Guardian article, I think the strip changed its tone after a few years. Here, a palate-cleanser: Woody Allen about to either a) be killed and eaten or b) have his finger ripped off just prior to falling to his death. Again, original art. I rather like that in the second panel, you can see the woman panicking. ![]()

My Dad may still have a copy of that old Woody Allen collection. I remember skimming through it when I was devouring his old comics, but overall it wasn't that memorable next to the Bloom County books on the same shelf.

Cul de Sac is perfect. Dykes to Watch Out For (1987) NSFWing this one because of very incidental nudity: ![]() "On Our Backs" was the title of a lesbian magazine that started running in 1984 and which was somewhat notorious for being the first widely distributed mag to feature lesbian erotica written for a lesbian audience. The title is a winking reference to the anti-pornography newspaper "off our backs," which began in 1970. I don't know if Mo's "Womyn's Herstory Project" shirt is a reference to something specific or not. "Herstory," broadly referring to attempts in the 70s and 80s to reclaim a feminist historiography, was coined in 1970, and while it (and the neologism "womyn" while we're at it) have fallen out of broad usage in feminism for a bunch of reasons, the "herstory movement" was a pretty vital force in the 70s especially, feeding into a significant push to republish and re-examine neglected women artists, writers, journalists, etc.. And of course the song Mo is singing throughout is Whitney Houston's unbeatable 1987 banger "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." Documentation on old Dykes to Watch Out For strips has been disappointingly scattershot in my experience, so this at least lets us know that this strip came out sometime after May 2nd, 1987. It hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 27, although I don't know how much Mo (or Bechdel) would have cared about that.
